Rafael Nadal has said that he is "very happy" to be in the second week of Wimbledon following his third-round victory over Mikhail Kukushkin.

The Spaniard lost the opening set against the world number 63 on Saturday before coming back to win 6-7(4) 6-1 6-1 6-1.

"The body is feeling fine. I have finished all my matches playing better than when I started and that is very positive," Nadal told BBC Sport.

"I'm very happy to be in the second week after two years losing in the first and second rounds. I am fighting for every ball and playing to find right solutions in every game."

Nadal will now face either Australian teenager Nick Kyrgios or Czech Jiri Vesely for a place in the quarter-finals at SW19.
